Tonight, we had duck. The Kate Moss of poultry.
Actually, I followed a recipe in a Polish cook book, where you stuff it with apples, and oranges, and prunes and apricots. The filling was really good, and the meat was tasty. Lots of fat on a duck, and the places you'd normally carve certain parts, isn't where you expect, so I kinda butchered it for the presentation.
All in all, the recipe was a success, but we agreed, duck isn't going to be in the regular rotation.
For a late dessert, I made butternut squash bars from a recipe on our CSA flyer. It was really good. Like, I wanted to eat half the tray.
You peel and cut up the squash, and apples, then mix that with brown sugar, cinnamon, and ground cloves, and bake that covered for 30min. Meanwhile you mix flour, (melted) butter and more brown sugar. When it comes out the first time, you cover it with that mix, and bake uncovered for another 40min. Then, cut it up into squares, and serve with ice cream.
